Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We use grid‐group cultural theory (CT) to specify underspecified aspects of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). Our theoretical synthesis of CT and the ACF provides, first, an exhaustive typology of policy actors and their cultural cognitive biases that entail, guide, and constrain policy core beliefs about problem definitions and ...

Study of structural stability of a concrete gravity dam using a reliability approach�
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2022 Dam safety is a priority at the international level, it requires a large amount of data that allows analysts to make optimization on its structural stability, the latter is based on the estimation of the probability of failure from the effects of stress ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 434-455, June 2026.This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Analysis of a gravity dam considering the application of passive reinforcement [PDF]
, 2010 Small concrete gravity dams are sometimes built using passive steel anchors to enhance their stability for the applied loads. It is important to assess the amount of internal tensile and shear forces resisted by the anchors to verify their structural ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...
